A free wheeling conversation with Popatrao Pawar, the legendary Sarpanch of Hiware Bazar. Pawar led Hiware Bazar‘s transformation from a drought- prone village to a green and prosperous model village, thus successfully reproducing Anna Hazare’s Ralegan Siddhi model of village development. In this conversation, he talks us through his journey of the last 25 years and the principles by which the village governs itself.
